Good to see that Faith No More have mellowed and are growing old gracefully - the new song is called "Motherf*cker".

I've become a bit sceptical of record store day. Although it's a nice initiative, I didn't fare so well last time. I wanted the vinyl of Type O Negative's first album which was being pressed on nice 180g double LP. The stores who participated in Belgium didn't respond to my emails about the record being for sale there. Apparently it was a US release only (which I only found out through facebook groups, rather than the official site or participating stores). So I ended up paying 60€ to some shark on eBay who's just in it for the money (it had only cost him 30 USD). And that for a band which had it's biggest crowds in Europe, and numerous tours. What a way to treat fans/RSD customers!

Yeah, those US releases can be a pain in the ass to get your hands on over here... but mostly some of them come through eventually. I was after that Christian Death 7" and the fine chaps of Bilbo records in Leuven got one for me. And some other very cool releases too.
Which shops did you ask?
